My ipad isnt fully recognized on my pc laptop running windows 8 pro

When I plug my ipad2.4 into my laptop it only allows me to check my (DCIM) picture folder but doesn't recognize nothing else thru the usb. So I can't load it up to put music from itunes or anything else for that matter. Can someone help me to resolve this issue. I already uninstalled, restart pc, then reinstalled itunes and all apple software and nothing.

Hello HungryHoover,
It sounds like you are not able to see any iOS devices in iTunes on your PC. I recommend the following article to help you troubleshoot that named:

Ipad not being recognized on my Mac laptop

My Ipad Mini, (just purchased today) is not being recognized on my Mac computer under Devices in the Finder. We also bought a IPod Shuffle and it is recognized. I followed another person's advice from this forum and reloaded the Ipad, but it is still not recognized. I want to move some Epub books to my Ipad, but cannot do this since it's not recognized. I downloaded the Bluefire Reader as was suggested in the forum, but, again, the Ipad is not recognized on my laptop in order to move the books.

It won't appear in Finder, it's not designed to mount as a drive, content is synced via your Mac's iTunes. If it's not being recognised in your Mac's iTunes then there is some troubleshooting on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
You should be able to copy books to that app by connecting the iPad to your Mac and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then option-command-S should get the sidebar to appear), and then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen selecting the Apps tab and scrolling down it to the file sharing section : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
If you've already directly downloaded some apps or other content onto the iPad then you may also find this page useful for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

My ipad isnt being recognized in ANY way on my computer

Try blowing out & cleaning out (use an old soft toothbrush or similar) the device's 30-pin or Lightning port. Dust and lint can cause connectivity issues.

My iphone is not recognized by itunes I am running Windows 8.1

For the past few days i have been unable to sync. When opening my itunes it will not recognize it as even a device. I uninstalled and reinstalled already. Check my cables, my iphone charges on all ports and i am able to access my pictures in my computer. I checked the dev man too and that's all working fine. I only link my contact/email/calendar with my iphone, not sure what the issue is!

I had this problem and followed this article to fully resolve it:

I have icloud on my laptop running windows 7. If I enter an event on calendar, it will not sync to iphone or ipad??

How can I get a calendar event to sync from icloud on my windows 7 laptop to my iphone and ipad??

Hi tomtodd,
If you have it setup correctly
Set up and use iCloud for Windows
check this article for troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
Check the section for iOS devices first, then there's a section for iCloud.com and Microsoft Windows. Try adding the event at iCloud.com for example and see if that syncs.
Best regards,

Can you run windows 7 as vmware on mac or ipad

Can I run windows 7 on my Mac or use a iPad and use VMware on them.

You can run Windows on your Mac, but not on an iPad.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Mac Air 13 running Windows 7 not properly recognizing external monitor

My Macbook Air 13 running Windows 7 Pro through Bootcamp is no longer properly recognizing an external Apple 27 inch monitor since the latest package of windows updates. When plugged in, the external display duplicates that of the laptop (both being identified as screen "1") and both at resolution 800x600. Attempts to reset resolution to appropriate levels fails. Also function to restore to an earlier date/update point won't oblige, claiming unatohrized and "catastrophic failure." Any suggestions?

This a work around and its work for now untill Parrellel provide a fix for thier programe.
CPU throttle will work for this issue by scalling down the process for your Parrellel for mac. Just remember anything you want to use your parrellel you have to run cputhrottle script in your terminal
Start Active Monitor on your MAC and pay attention to prl_vm_app CPU usage
Note that when you start using your windown on your mac via parrellel the prl_vm_app cpu usage runs over 100 and when that happens your mac start to get hot and by keeping this down using cpu throttle your mac stay cooler and doesnt get hot.
Downlaod CPU throttle from this website and install. http://www.willnolan.com/cputhrottle/cputhrottle.htm
Open a terminal on your mac and run ./cputhrottle pid 50 (you can check your PID for prl_vm_app running active monitor on mac)
The value 50 can be decrease or increase but remember the more you increase value your mac will start to run hot so keeping at 50 is recommended.
I know this issue have been around for a while and this will help keeping your Mac cooler when running parrelle on mac

IPad no longer recognizing CF card through USB port

I'm a photographer, Using a USB cable to a CF card reader, I can import and view my images via the iPad. This not only is easily done, Lexar's president has a video on Youtube demonstrating this.
I've used this feature regularly for several events.
However just recently the iPad has simply stopped recognizing the USB reader and said that there isn't enough power to do this.
So from 7/4-2010 through Friday,7/23 I was able to import images via this daisylink chain. Then on Saturday 7/24 I was no longer able to do this.
The iPad does seem to be losing battery power more quickly than when I first got it, so my assumption is that it is a mechanical thing and the iPad battery is defective.
Any thoughts? Please remember, this function operated smoothly for a month, and is described regularly in another company's marketing materials, and no changes to the iPad have taken place.

Have you tried making sure the iPad is fully charged before doing this? I suppose so.

IPad mini not recognized by itunes 10.6.1 (7)?

Why is new ipad mini not recognized by iTunes 10.6.1 (7)? Running OSX 10.5.8 software on the Mac. Software updates both report: "up to date"

Sorry, but you need iTunes 11 which requires OS 10.6 or higher and a Mac with an Intel processor. In other words, you need a newer Mac.

My first generation iPad no longer recognized in iTunes, neither via usb nor wi-fi. Did all the steps recommended in Apple iPad support. Now what?

My first generation iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes. It just doesn't show up neither via USB nor via wi-fi.
I've checked the usb connection and cable and its OK.
I checked that iTunes is up to date on my Mac.
I reinstalled iTunes on my Mac.
I restarted my Mac,
I've restarted my iPad.
The iPad has IOS 4.3.1 (8G4) installed. And without the iPad being recognized in iTunes I can not update the IOS nor apps, nor remove unneeded photos. The iPad is completely filled up, no memory left to allow even updates via cellular or via wi-fi.
Trying to gain access to update the IOS and to update APPS and to remove the pics I already have backed up and do not need on this iPad locally.
PS: I even tried to connect the iPad to a different Mac and it was not seen in that iTunes either.
So, what can I do now?
Any suggestions besides using it as a paper weight?
Thanks
